Erasmus plus project 3D LEARNING DIMENSIONS IN VOCATIONAL EDUCATION - VET3D,
No 2021-1-CZ01-KA220-VET-000033359
​Excellent and inclusive European VET is equally necessary for the competitiveness of European enterprises and a well-functioning European labour market.
​The multi-dimensional approach in VET
Moreover, the growing demand for STEM skills and the increasing need to constantly upskill and reskill throughout a person’s working life will be easier in case of promoting the 3-dimensional approach in VET embedded in our initiative called VET3D.
​​Project activities
The project activities are based on the principle “map – research – create – validate – disseminate”. The mapping will be performed at the very beginning and experts will research existing barriers and challenges in terms of digital up-skilling in project partner countries in VET sector.
Within project, also VET learning models will be researched across 4 EU countries to offer a research-based approach for future-proof VET. The aim is to create so called “SKILLS INTELLIGENCE DATABASE” resulting from the mentioned actions. This database will support the empowerment of transversal skills useful for employability throughout VET learner’s study. Experts will make sure wide set of different training experiences (school work alternation, internships, non-formal education experiences) are embedded within 3 key skill priorities: digital, intercultural, entrepreneurial.
In an age where most adolescents live their second lives through smartphones, the project plans to launch VET3D Mobile application offering existing courses to develop soft skills. Besides the possibility of searching in the list of existing courses, the application will also offer new, interactive courses focused on set of soft skills identified as needed in the mapping phase. In total, there will be 3 new application-run courses developed by VET3D experts.
Finally, project will develop online training materials for VET teachers to be able to guide students through formal, non-formal and work-placed training digitally. VET educators can boost their e-leadership in the post-pandemic era.
